The full name is Byrne Bros Chevrolet...they were on Virginia Rd. just off the Bronx River Parkway. Huge place...they sold a ton of cars back in the day. There are still guys in the Westchester County area around who worked there.

I would focus on car clubs/cruise venues perhaps in that area.

Try this site. This was the local Drag Strip where the Byrne crew would spend their weekends.

Your 69 spent some time there too I'm sure.
I have some Dover decals for you if your interested.

Here are a few photos to help you with your search.

I have a couple of parts catalogs I will dig out and take photos to post also.

Good luck with your search.

I found a 'By BYRNE' emblem on the tailgate of a '65 Nova station wagon in a junk yard years ago. I called Frank Arone from the yard to see if he wanted it for his COPO Camaro, he said '....nah, go find me another one...' He was joking of course, I had to tear half the tailgate apart to get that thing... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Marty's collection is one of the very best. He is a real hunter and pays up for the rare memorabilia.

FWIW - BB Chevrolet items are incredibly rare. While it was hi-volume and hi-performance, reach was really restricted to the North East. It was not Baldwin Motion or Yenko where the reach was National and in some cases global.

I apologize, I don't think I was clear. The first 3 photos I posted are not my items. I saved those photos from he internet and was only sharing them for the search.

Tho following catalogs are from my collection:

They are both the same catalog, except for the cover being slightly different.

Sorry for the sideways pictures. They are correct on my computer and I can't figure out how to straighten them.

Dan,
Thank you for the kind words. My collection is definitely faint in comparison to yours.

Thanks,

Marty
